Research on Interdisciplinary Thematic Teaching Reform of Rural lanning for Multi-disciplinary Students: A Case Study of Changsha University of Science and Technology

Abstract

The implementation of the national strategy of rural revitalization has set off an urgent need for the training of high-level rural planners. Based on a review of literature on current interdisciplinary education and teaching in universities at home and abroad, this study takes Changsha University of Science and Technology, a local university, as an example, to analyze the characteristics of multidisciplinary backgrounds of students from two master’s degree programs—architecture and architectural and civil engineering, and the interdisciplinary characteristics of rural planning studies, and delves into the teaching reform of rural planning courses in terms of organizational pattern, module setting and learning outcomes assessment. Furthermore, it supplements adaptive and effective strategies and models for modular courses to bring about interdisciplinary teaching and extends the new approaches of higher education methodology validation studies to teaching reform in the field of Architecture and Rural planning.
